Padding is invalid and cannot be removed?
Hi everyone,
I have looked online for what this*exception means in relation to my*program*but can't seem to find a solution or the reason why its happening to my specific program. I have been using the example provided my msdn for encrypting and decrypting an xmldocument. The encryption works fine but when i try to decrypt, I get the following exception: padding is invalid and cannot be removed?
Can anyone tell me what I can do to solve this issue please. I'm running out of resources. I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. My code below is where i get the key etc and if the cryptoMode is false it will call the decrypt method, which is where the exception occurs:
public void Cryptography(XmlDocument doc, bool cryptographyMode)
{
RijndaelManaged key = null;
try
{
// Create a new Rijndael key.
key = new RijndaelManaged();
const string passwordBytes = "Password1234"; //password here
byte[] saltBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("SaltBytes");
Rfc2898DeriveBytes p = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(passwordBytes, saltBytes);
// sizes are devided by 8 because [ 1 byte = 8 bits ]
key.IV = p.GetBytes(key.BlockSize/8);
key.Key = p.GetBytes(key.KeySize/8);
if (cryptographyMode)
{
Ecrypt(doc, "Content", key);
}
else
{
Decrypt(doc, key);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
// Clear the key.
if (key != null)
{
key.Clear();
}
}
}
private void Decrypt(XmlDocument doc, SymmetricAlgorithm alg)
{
// Check the arguments.
if (doc == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("Doc");
if (alg == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("alg");
// Find the EncryptedData element in the XmlDocument.
XmlElement encryptedElement = doc.GetElementsByTagName("EncryptedData")[0] as XmlElement;
// If the EncryptedData element was not found, throw an exception.
if (encryptedElement == null)
{
throw new XmlException("The EncryptedData element was not found.");
}
// Create an EncryptedData object and populate it.
EncryptedData edElement = new EncryptedData();
edElement.LoadXml(encryptedElement);
// Create a new EncryptedXml object.
EncryptedXml exml = new EncryptedXml();
// Decrypt the element using the symmetric key.
byte[] rgbOutput = exml.DecryptData(edElement, alg); <---- I GET THE EXCEPTION HERE
// Replace the encryptedData element with the plaintext XML element.
exml.ReplaceData(encryptedElement, rgbOutput);
}
